A MONTHLY PUBLICATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI GAMING & HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATION JULY 2016 Message from Executive Director As we enter the 3rd quarter for 2016, we continue to see increases in visitation from Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas while we are seeing declines in visitation from Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Overall, total visitation is greater than it was at this point in 2015. As previously reported in the April 2016 newsletter, the Economic Development & Infrastructure Fund (EDI Fund) will provide us with the opportunity to increase air visitation to our state. Currently, approximately 95% of visitors drive-in to our state. MDA will be publishing guidelines for the air service program in the near future. Air service visitors typically stay longer and spend more. With the increase in regional competition, the Legislature is to be commended for creating the EDI Fund. MGHA Monthly Report Third Quar ter off to Good Star t With there being five full weekends in July, the positive trend continued as we moved into the third quarter of 2016. The Gulf Coast was up 1.3% on a year over year basis. Overall the Gulf Coast GGR (gross gaming revenue) is up 4.1% compared to this point in 2015. At the end of the 1st Quarter 2016, the River Counties showed a 2.6% decline compared to the same period in 2015. At the end of the 2nd Quarter of 2016, the River Counties are down 2.9%. While GGR is declining, the declines appear to be lessening. On a statewide basis, GGR is up almost 1% compared to the same period in 2015.

MGHA MONTHLY REPORT AGA Get to Kn ow Gaming August 3, 2016 By: Larry Gregory The AGA visited Biloxi, Mississippi on August 3 rd as part of their Get To Know Gaming campaign that highlights the beneficial role the industry plays in our communities across 40 states. Leaders from the gaming industry, legislators, non-profits, and the business community highlighted the positive impact gaming has in Mississippi and the Gulf Coast. It was an honor to have them at the IP Casino Resort Spa to tell the world what a great investment Mississippi has made in gaming and that gaming has made in Mississippi. Of course, Mississippi is no longer new to the gaming industry; next year will mark the industry s 25 th anniversary in our state. Participating in the AGA event were Geoff Freeman, president and CEO, American Gaming Association; Duncan McKenzie, general manager, IP Casino Resort Spa; Jonathan Jones, senior vice president and general manager, Harrah s Gulf Coast; Wade Howk, vice president of operations, Penn National Gaming; Marcus Glover, general manager, Beau Rivage Resort & Casino; Richard Bennett, chairman of the Gaming Committee, Mississippi State Legislature, leaders of charity our partners (including the United Way and Habitat for Humanity) and other leaders within the business community at large. The roundtable discussion made it very clear; the gaming industry in Mississippi has been a huge success. Specifically, gaming tax revenue generated by Mississippi casinos is set to reach $6.6 billion by the industry s 25 th anniversary in 2017. And, in 2015 alone, the gaming industry had more than a $4 billion impact on the state s economy. The AGA didn t come to only discuss the past; but, Freeman also discussed the future of gaming in Mississippi and across the country. Of great interest was the topic of sports betting. Sports betting may be the next step in Mississippi's gaming journey.

We are still developing the agenda of the upcoming board meeting, so please share your ideas and suggestions for topics that you would like to address. The meeting will be held on September 14, 2016 at Horseshoe Casino & Resort in Tunica. We look forward to seeing you. Souther n Gaming Summit, May 2-4, 2017 2 Planning for SGS 2017 is underway. With planning meetings already taking place amongst our executive committee and our partner, BNP Media, the upcoming summit promises to be one of the best ever. While we cannot provide much in terms of specifics, we can tell you that we will be working to grow the exhibit hall and to add new and innovative topics to the educational program. The primary driver amongst our exhibitors and sponsors is (1) to generate new leads, (II) to increase brand awareness followed by (III) networking with clients. These drivers will be a key focus of SGS 2017. Also, of great importance, our vendors in the exhibit hall will be able to identify buyers with specially marked badges, and we will be growing our number of gaming and non-gaming vendors. If you have suggestions or comments, please email Larry Gregory (lgregory@msgaming.org) and Mike Bruffey (mikebruffey@msgaming.org). We value your input and will ensure that SGS is everything you the casino operators and vendors want it to be.

Congress Street 4th Floor Jackson, MS 39201 (601) 965-6992 www.msgaming.org Appeals Cour t Over tur ns NJ Spor ts Betting Law At the beginning of August, the federal 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals voted 10-2 to hold that New Jersey s 2014 law to legalize sports betting in the state violated federal statute. The NCAA, NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB sued New Jersey after the state passed the legislation in June of 2014. At issue was whether the state law violated the federal Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act s (PASPA) prohibition against states legalizing sports betting. PASPA was passed in 1992, just as legalized gaming expanded across the country. PASPA allowed four states that already had some form of sports betting to continue, but it also included a provision that would have allowed only New Jersey to legalize sports betting within the first year after it became law. Of course, New Jersey didn t take that opportunity to do so. This most recent opinion is important because when the case first made it to the 3rd Circuit, a three-judge panel voted 2-1 to hold the NJ law violated PASPA. It made it before the entire 3rd Circuit after it granted NJ a hearing before the entire court, something that is extremely rare. NJ could appeal to the Supreme Court, but it s unlikely it would even hear the case. And if it did, it s hard to imagine it turning out any differently from the solid 10-2 appeals court vote. It seems the only way to expand sports betting beyond the four states where it is legal, would be for Congress to update federal law, which the American Gaming Association wants.
